Análise da viabilidade financeira do sistema de criação de patos (Cairina moschata domesticus)

Abstract

Waterfowl production has been progressing in recent decades and playing an important role in the world in terms of food. Domestic ducks contributed as an alternative source in both meat and egg production. The creation of domestic courtyards in the country is still not widespread, its production is mostly used as an alternative in family farming. In Pará, no different, duck breeding also focuses on family farming as a subsistence, with few producers exercising the intensive form. In this sense, the objective of this work was to carry out an analysis of the financial viability of the domestic duck breeding system, using the zootechnical indices and the production costs acquired in bibliographic analyzes. Sheds were prepared with densities applicable to a thousand birds per week, a manual of breeders and breeders was elaborated, which best serve it as productive reproductions. By analyzing the financial viability of the project, it was observed that despite the high operating costs, the system is viable for small and medium producers.
